“This book shows the development and design of domestic articles in Britain since the time of the Romans.  Its 500 line drawings illustrate the kind of things which succeeding generations of Britons have found essential in setting up home, articles without which the family could not prepare food, cook, eat, keep clean or go about its daily routine; possessions which are neither furniture nor decoration but the tools of domesticity.”
